About Me

You deserve exceptional, personalized care held in a space of safety, hope, and compassion. Healing happens in connection, not in isolation. Connection is healing. You will cultivate healthier connections with all parts of yourself, others, and God as we work together. That is why you can get to choose from a variety of the effective and holistic individual/group opportunities at Wholehearted such as psychotherapy, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), Biblical counseling, yoga therapy and practice (body/breath/mindfulness focused), and ear acupuncture. You will learn how to hold a space and nurture yourself down from the brain and nervous systems all the way into your soul space for a long-lasting transformation, being guided by someone who has done the work for herself. Come Just As You Are~
